All 50- Slip On ? 2016 at 2:01 PM, rocketman3, September 23 After surfing and looking at all the aftermarket cans I think this is the best looking one I've found (IMO). It's also the most expensive at $1000. Akrapovic Titanium/Carbon…
- Made the VFR800 to1200 Swap - First Impressions vs What I Read Congrats on the new ride. As for the numbing in the right hand, I get that as well when I do shorter rides. 15-30 miles but seem to get past it when putting in some more miles. Not sure why. I know that I have a slight…
- Yokel's VFR1200 re-fresh Coming along nicely and yes you will enjoy the Speigler conversion. It makes a big difference even if you have to give up a little turning radius.........
- Yokel's VFR1200 re-fresh Nice updates! Sad to tell you that your Ram mount will not work with the Spiegler kit. I had the same mount. I swapped to a bar mount now with an adjustable arm to move it to the center. Sent from my iPhone using…
- Spiegler LSL vs Heli bars I went with the LSL bar ends that are for the bars Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
- Spiegler LSL vs Heli bars 2016 at 10:26 AM, RC1237V, June 12 Anyone regret doing this modification? I have a non-DCT and now that I am doing longer rides, my left palm stays numb for a day after my ride. I don't want to cause permanent damage,…
- Big H Issued A Recall On Vfr1200F And Vfr1200X Re:drive-Shafts Since getting mine back it does seem a shade quieter but to be honest I didn't have enough saddle time yet to notice much difference I guess. That said she runs silky smooth like a Honda should. The more I ride this…
- New Look Nice, they look good in black. I assume you had them powder coated. What was the price if you don't mind me asking?
- Just Test Rode My 3Rd Vfr1200 My MPG actually got better with the reflash. DCT model fwiw. Can you explain the benefit of the reflash on the DCT. I am considering to get mine done but I am unclear on the benefits on a DCT. The reflash or Bazazz will…
- Big H Issued A Recall On Vfr1200F And Vfr1200X Re:drive-Shafts swimmer Not to derail this thread but you guys having your fork seals replaced should do some searching online about how to clean your seals without taking anything apart. More often than not the seal is fine, just…
- Veefour Electronic Cruise Control, Installed And Tested What are we looking at for $$$? Of course that will dictate who might purchase. The unit does like nicely done!
- Big H Issued A Recall On Vfr1200F And Vfr1200X Re:drive-Shafts Mine is currently at the shop and the shaft is done, but I had a leaking fork seal which is now being corrected as well. I was tempted to send them off to Daughtery but don't have the time or a stand currently to take…
- Problem I know you said that you have a Lithium battery but I would honestly check the connections if you have not and I would then try a regular battery as well. There was just another thread on here about a bike not starting…
- Spiegler LSL vs Heli bars I just mounted my LSL's last weekend and my clutch lever is fine although maybe a little more of a downward position would be better. I am planning to get some SS lines now anyway because I don't like how tight the…
- Problem I agree with the above gentleman. I would also check the battery cables as well, when loose they can cause all kinds of crazy symptoms
- Recall Update I just dropped by my local Honda dealer to ask about the recall; I have not received a recall notice. Not too sure about what they told me I had to do. I have to bring the bike in, they verify all the info, and then…
- Impressions Of The Vfr After 1000 Miles Honda made it, they can call it whatever they want........
- Oem Pannier Question Do you mean adjusting the latch so it closes the door a little tighter? I've no idea if this can be done or whether there is a designed means to do this but it should not be beyond the wit of man to fudge it. Yes, I am…

- Oem Pannier Question I have a set of OEM panniers and one of them does not close tightly. My guess is that you can adjust the closure to some degree. Has anyone done this and if so, any tips. Thanks
- Saddlemen Seat Kits Anyone Have Experience With Em? ridered MotardMenace I have one on its way as we speak. Will update once I have it in hand and installed. Thanks for the information from all who have purchased. You get it in and installed yet? What version did you…
- Engine Heat Poll I haven't had the opportunity to give it the real test, which is the dead of summer here in Phoenix at about 110-115 degrees but its been high 80's around here lately and I have been in stop and go traffic for my…
- Mirror Snapped Off By Passing Car I'm not sure of your laws on that side of the pond but I can tell you here in Arizona he would be issued a citation for moving left not in safety. I was a motor officer for 10 years and had I seen that video I would…
- Mirror Snapped Off By Passing Car From what I saw it was his fault period. You had the lane, he needed to wait before merging and he obviously knew you were there as well. I say he needs to pay for the mirror. I'm not sure what people are thinking…
- Recall Update My 2012 went in on Saturday for the shaft drive recall/update. The dealer advised that Honda is short of supply on the kits and will reallocate one designated for your bike if you do not act promptly in completing the…
- Bazzazz Z-Bomb Question I will second John's motion that the Z-bomb works! If you don't mind the gear indicator issue then this is about the best $50 bucks you can spend. Totally transforms 1st & 2nd gear. Pulls like a freight train and anyone…
- Panniers Well I just made the decision and it was OEM panniers........Put an offer on a new unused set on eBay from a seller across the pond and he took the offer. New panniers with new tumblers to be set to my key for just over…
- Panniers The Kappa's look pretty good to be honest and I like the 33L unit they have which is about 30% less then the Givi version even though they are the same. Anyway I have decisions to make I guess because it looks like for…
- Saddlemen Seat Kits Anyone Have Experience With Em? I have one on its way as we speak. Will update once I have it in hand and installed. Thanks for the information from all who have purchased.
- Panniers If they are no longer making it, it appears their sister company Kappa is: http://www.tourandri.../vfr1200f-10-13 I like Kappa stuff, just as good as the Givi stuff but cheaper. Most times they are just lid swaps or…
- Panniers On a side note I discovered Givi has discontinued making the racks for the V35's for the VFR1200. A search on-line came up with zip although I only looked at 4-5 places.
- Panniers If I had it to do over again, I'd go with the Givi to be honest. They are tougher and I don't worry about scuffs happening on those. Plus they can hold more due to the shape. Just my $0.02. Thanks for the info,…
- Panniers I am pretty sure I am going with the factory bags because they do attach nice and cleanly. My only issue (s) is (in photos anyway) they look so low and a bit out of place. I guess for handling they are better off being…
- Bazzazz Z-Bomb Question Yes. Z-Bomb is compatible. The Z-Bomb connects to the Gear Position Sensor (GPS) harness just above the shifter. It has no electronics inside it, so it does not care what other mods have been done to your bike. Thx
- Bazzazz Z-Bomb Question I have a question on the Z-Bomb for those that have it. I would obviously love to eventually get the Guhl map but thought I might try this first for a while. The bike I purchased has the Bazzazz TC/FI controller with…
- Saddlemen Seat Kits Anyone Have Experience With Em? Volfy One word of caution. This kit was a bitch to staple the cover on tight, with zero creasing. I am lucky I had quite a bit of practice recovering dirt bike seat, which are a whole bunch easier, before I tackled this…
- Saddlemen Seat Kits Anyone Have Experience With Em? Volfy Oh yeah. Much more so. I went with the suede cover because I wanted the grippiest surface. Not to say the carbon version wouldn't be an improvement. I've had that type of cover on other aftermarket seat, and they…
- Saddlemen Seat Kits Anyone Have Experience With Em? Volfy - is the seat significantly grippier? That is my main complaint with the stock seat, it is like glass its so damn slippery in my opinion anyway. Edited February 4, 2016 by MotardMenace
- Recall Update I'm picking my new to me VFR1200 today and the recall has not been done yet either. Guess I'll call the shop and get it set up. I believe all of the units are being recalled correct? I thought there was a stop sale for…

- VFR1200 with Leo Vince [image: View Post]pazzo, on 15 April 2010 - 06:19 PM, said: WOW, the Akrapovic looks great! The bike's looks are starting to grow on me. Go see one in person....it looks even better...
- New 1200 I stopped at one of the local dealerships on Friday last week and didn't see one on the showroom floor so I asked a salesmen when they expected a new 1200f and he said would you like to see one, its in back just out of…
- VFR1200 with Leo Vince Stock exhaust sounded better.
- VFR1200 Upgrades I realize there are other reasons to have a larger tank but I guess my point, if there was one is that 90% of buyers won't give a hoot about only having 200-210 miles because almost no one ever rides that distance…
- VFR1200 Upgrades According to the article in Motorcyclist the range should be in the area of 200-210 miles on a tank. Just curious how many on here ride 200 straight miles without getting off their ride. I can tell you that I sure as…
- One VFR1200F now in my garage Steve, Congrats on the new ride. It appears that you are enjoying it. If you get time could you post up a quick pic with you seated on the bike. I like to see what someone looks like on them for size comparison. Thanks
- $15,999 Base MSRP Confirmed..... [image: View Post]VFR Capt.Bob, on 03 December 2009 - 01:31 PM, said: Does anyone really take the MSRP seriously in this economy? That is what they would like the bike to sell for. What you are willing to pay for it is…
- $15,999 Base MSRP Confirmed..... I think for now all comments are really based on speculation and opinion only, since very few have even seen one close up let alone have sat on one. Until it gets released into the wild we won't know if it is worth the…
- $15,999 Base MSRP Confirmed..... [image: View Post]bryan217, on 01 December 2009 - 09:25 PM, said: That's the base price though. What's it gonna be when you add the optional luggage and then the auto tranny (some will want it, but not me)? Funny how…
- $15,999 Base MSRP Confirmed..... I would guess I'm not the first to see this but if you go to Honda's website and go to the motorcycle section on top and then scroll to the sport bikes it drops down and shows the CBR's, 6th generation VFR and the 1200f…
